A few years back I wrote an article about how much trouble I had as a diabetic while on a roadtrip (apparently it's been 'archived' - lame). 

I was complaining about how frustrating it was to check my blood sugar on one device (with a screen, batteries, buttons, etc) then manually into another device (with a screen, batteries, buttons, etc) and I wondered:

A. Why isn't there only one device?
2. At least, why don't these devices talk to each other?

Well, here's a cool thing.  It's a Glucose Meter with integrated wireless alerts!   If you or your kid is having a low or high blood sugar, the device will alert a call center that will dispatch Text Messages all over.  Very cool. 

I love it when new technologies come out that are so compelling you don't know how you lived without them!
